Since owning this bra I now understand why women of all shapes and sizes say it is a wardrobe must have. It has a lovely stretch-lace material that forms to your unique breast shape and is absolutely beautiful and sexy. Not only is it gorgeous, it is also extremely supportive so you can be sure this bra will not let you down. The only downside that on its own this bra gives a bit of a conical shape, but under clothes the shape is nice and round. I recommend that if you are interested in purchasing this bra that you bump up one cup size. (Example: 30FF would bump up to 30G)

This has been hailed as the world's best sports bra and I can see why. The firm band gives excellent support for every kind of workout, the straps stay in place (an issue I have struggled with), and it can be worn on its own without a shirt. Fit wise it is pretty true-to-size, but if you are between band sizes (i.e. your ribcage measures an odd number like 29", 31", 33", etc.) I strongly recommend going up a band size (example: a 30FF would go to a 32F). My only con is that the hook and eye tend to pop out. Although this does not effect the fit or function of the bra, it is a minor annoyance. Overall this is an excellent bra and lives up to its title as the world's best sports bra.

I love this bra! so much that I have it in 3 colors. It's a great everyday tshirt bra that is very comfortable to wear because of the spacer foam. I that it is full coverage. I am a 32E and it fits me very well.

This is literally my every day go-to bra. The molded cup and balconette shape are both flattering and comfortable under any garment.
The bra has reasonable coverage, neither "full" or barely there.
I've found the band is a little too big, but not quite enough for a full size down. I usually have to start on the second set of hooks which means the bra doesn't last as long :/
I'm a 36H in Panache, but I usually order this one in a 36GG because their 36H has some extra room for me, resulting in "folding" of the cups.

I gave this bra 4 stars because it doesn't have the next size up available, 38GG. FREYA...MAKE THIS IN A 38GG! I love that it has only two hooks...most bras for larger busted women tend to have three or four. As a woman with a very short torso and large bosom, I can't use the bras with more hooks because the bra will tend to poke into my armpits...a most uncomfortable feeling. I'd love to see this bra in more colors too.

So comfortable especially the shoulder straps. I love the feel of the material. Its a sexy classy look. Im a 34DD but needed to return it for a 32DD even though the 32 is a little tight I know after a few months of wear the material will stretch and allow me to stay supportive for longer lasting wear.

I love this bra. I've been wearing this style by Panache for the last 8 years or so, the only issue I have is that in less than a year typically, the little underwire works it's way out and pokes through the top right between the girls, rendering the bra useless after a few months. It has happened with every single bra I've ever bought from Panache, no matter which style

My daughter found your site on line and told me to look for a better Bar at your bare necessities site, and I did. I called for a fitting and they helped me find out that I was wearing the wrong size all this time!
I am now wearing a: 30 G, Freya Active Sport Bra. The Bar came to my door Very quickly, and it fits PERFECT. I Love my New Freya Active Sport Bra, it is cool, a Great Fit, the straps never fall down, I don't Bounce at all, it holds"the GIRLS" up where they should Be!
I Ordered another right away, I will order more soon.
Thank you very much, I Love my Bare Necessities Bra..

I have the Fantasie Smoothing Balcony bra, both the padded and unlined, and wear them constantly. I love the unlined, it has great support and shape. My only wish is that they came in more colors than black and nude. So I was so happy to find the Echo bra in red, it is beautiful!! It has the same great fit and feel as the Smoothing but definitely prettier. Please make both of these bras in more colors! I would say the unlined styles are consistently sized in both styles, however the padded Smoothing runs just slightly bigger in the cup. I wear a 34 E. Also all of the Fantasie bras wash well and seem to be lasting much longer than other brands.

After loving this bra and then hating it and then loving it again, I have finally decided that I do indeed love this bra and it is my favorite.
This was my first bra in 32G (UK sizing) after I was fit properly. I loved it in the beginning but eventually the scratchy lace got to me. More so because I am short and the sides come almost to the armpits sometimes and that was NOT comfortable.
Now after having returned a tonne of Panache, Freya, Wacoal, Curvy Kate and what not, I realised that this gave me the best shape.
The most important thing is that it holds up and forward and doesn't push to the sides (which only makes you feel like the boobs are being smashed and looks large/shapeless both from sides and front). Indeed, I haven't even found a bra which does it as much as this does. Secondly, it has excellent side support- also very flattering. The other things about this bra is the thick straps, imagine having heavy breasts on noodles straps! And it has a thick sides and band.
I would definitely change the lace to a softer fabric. For people which unusual (read large) breasts, who have so few bras to choose from, we would be okay with cotton! Don't try to make it pretty, make it strong!

This is a great tshirt bra since the foam lining isn't too thick. It seems to be lined with just enough of the foam. I love the option of wearing the bra with j-hook in the back. The racerback style is great for wearing tank tops.

I'm a bigger busted girl, 32J, so good strapless bras are really tough to come by. I was hesitant to buy one at all, to be honest. This one is actually really great though. I can wear it for several hours and not have to yank it back in to place, it stays put where it should be. The fit is true to size and it doesn't add any extra cup sizes when I don't need them. My only complaint is that after a few hours my ribs do tend to feel a little sore, but it's a minor inconvenience I'm willing to have for a bra that actually does it's job.

I was a 34DDD pre-pregnancy. At 16 weeks I have already reached a size 34DDDD. I NEEDED a new bra but didn't know anything about nursing bras. I went with a brand I am familiar with and was not disappointed. The style is feminine. I don't feel like I am wearing a granny bra. The fabric is soft and comfy.

This is by far one of my favorite bras. It offers great lift and support and creates a lovely rounded shape. However, being that I have a bit more upper breast tissue I tend to get the "quad-boob" effect. This bra would be more suitable for someone with fuller lower breasts. Although I don't mind seams showing through clothes (after all, seams equal support) if you would prefer a smooth look I would not recommend this bra. If you are interested in purchasing this bra definitely follow Panache's advice and bump up one cup size. (Example: a 30FF would go up to a 30G)

This bra fits pretty true to size and offers great support for large sizes. I am a 32G. Seperation is decent. They are a little mashed together, but for a workout bra support is the most important.
Downside is this bra gives you pointy boobs that look like you walked out of a mad men episode.

I recently learned I was wearing the wrong bra size. I watched a video with fitting instructions that also suggested a storefront that sells UK-sized bras. I don't live near that store, so I started searching online. This was one of three bras that I first tried through this website. At first, this bra felt uncomfortable because the underwires went farther around my sides than I was used to, and dug into my rib cage. After wearing it for a few days the underwires conformed to my torso and weren't uncomfortable anymore.
I am so pleased with the shape of the cups--I tried on and exchanged/returned five other brands that either made my breasts protrude forward awkwardly, smashed them flat, or created an unfortunate ski-slope effect (or some combination thereof). For the first time ever, the gusset actually touches my chest instead of floating in front like with every other bra I've owned. I just ordered two more of this same bra.
I'm not able to find a good-fitting bra in stores (UK size 30GG), and of all the bras I've ordered through this website and tried on, this is the only one that has not made my chest look weird.

I have always had to wear 2 sports bras to be able to even jog. I have no issues with running or CrossFit with this one. It holds everything in place for box jumps, burpees, pull-ups, whatever my coaches throw at me. The only improvement I would make is for it to compress just a little bot more so "the girls" stay out of the way for weightlifting. It's definitely not enough of an issue to keep searching for a different bra. I've tried Enell and Lynx and a few others, this is hands-down the best.

Love, love, love this strapless! First of all, the color is gorgeous! Second of all it supports the girls, it doesn't just sit there expecting you to do all of the work. I ordered it in a 34GG and it's fan-freaking-tastic! I shouldn't be so suprised because my other good strapless bra is made by Fantasie; this bra is exceptional!

Someone tell me why this bra has been discontinued! I wore the Fantasie Cally for many years, until it was also discontinued. I have tried and returned tens of other bras and was just about reduced to wearing rags when Fantasie finally came out with the Samantha. The fit is excellent for for me - very large busted but with a petite frame and narrow shoulders.

I LOVE this bra!! I bought it in white a year ago. I just got it in black. I have slight scoliosis and with a dropped right shoulder am constantly pulling the right strap back up, but with this bra the criss-cross solved that! I bought the Fantasie Jana Convertible T-shirt bra to try something different and I couldn't get in it! With this Freya Deco I hook up the straps in the back, cross it over and hook it at the cup. Easy! I have a tiny bit of spillage out of the cup if I'm bent over moving around, but other than that it's perfect! It's not too thick of padding, but if you're self conscience about "headlights" when you are cold no worries with this bra! I will say this about this bra, you might want to go down a band size and up a cup size simply because after a year the band tends to get a little stretched out. This is what I did for the black one and it worked perfectly!

It is so very hard to find a cute, colorful bra that fits us larger girls. I've been stuck with black and nude for so long, getting a blue bra is definitely a nice change. It fits perfectly, feels wonderful, and looks great!

I love this bra,and have it in two colors. It fits well, and is very comfortable-- more than regular bras for yoga as neither the straps nor the underwire cut in with movement. These bras are very comfortable. Finally a sports bra in large size that I can wear with any yoga tank. It doesn't have any ugly seams across the front cups, which many sports bras (including other Freya bras) have. When the straps show the colors are cute. In fact, don't worry about the buying the bright blue bra -- the straps are the only thing that show and the pink/yellow combo looks good. In addition to blue I also have it in black with white trim and have ordered the crimson color. I've been wearing it for the past few months and always one of these to workouts now.

Highly recommend this product to any one who enjoy a supportive bra that looked classic. You can add padding on your own. This is one of my faverits from Freya. Not too crazy about their 3-parts bra, though.

Without a doubt the best sports bra I have owned. I am a 32G and found that it is true to size. I wear it for running and there is no bounce at all. There are two sets of hooks and even though it is kind of a pain, I just fasten the bra on backwards and turn it around before I put my arms through. It is worth it to be able to work out and not have to wear a regular bra and most sports bras out there.

I love this bra! I was a little skeptical ordering a bra that I hadn't tried on in a store, but this one fits true-to-size. Probably the best part about it is that it fits me like it does on the model. I wear a 32F so I didn't want too much push-up, but I like the "full" effect. This one gives a little bit of a push-up effect, but nothing over-the-top. Just enough to make my boobs look perky! It's nice to finally find a cute bra in my size that also fits nicely!

This is the first time I have tried a bodysuit. AND THIS CHANGED MY LIFE.
I recently had a baby and traditional shapewear is uncomfortable for me. I saw this and thought "this could work under a dress or skirt/top outfit OR to wear for my husband.
When I put this on I felt like my old self. VA VA VOOM.
Here's the deal: There is lace over the butt that stretches... perfect for any booty. There are sheer side panels which make you look extra slim. There is light control so you are held in and the bonus is - the cups are that of the Envy bra (stretch lace for the one breast that is larger than the other) awesome separation and lift!!
It's well made and gorgeous - get one now. Thank me later.

This bra is super cute and comfy. It gives a really nice round shape and keeps the girls front and center. I find that it works best with tight tops. If the top is loose, my boobs end up shifting to the center and the cleavage doesn't look as good. Love the polka dots! It's so hard to find bras that aren't really boring in a 30G.
